Nothing exciting ever happens. That is, until the day an alien
spaceship lands in the town square! But the critters on board are

enamoured by them. Only Dr Polly Piper and 12-year-old twins Tommy
and Gerta Friedrichs think there's more to the alien visitors than
meets the eye. Will the twins, Dr Piper and her pet pig Hamish be
able to prove that the cute creatures are actually bent on taking
over the town? Or will the aliens overtake the quiet town of
Hamlein in their quest for world domination?

Studio Ghibli meets Diana Wynne Jones in the first spellbinding
APPRENTICE WITCH book! 'Reminded me of the best of the Worst Witch
books' ABI ELPHINSTONE 'A charming tale of magic, bravery and
friendship, reminiscent of Diana Wynne Jones.' GUARDIAN 'The
Apprentice Witch is entirely more charming, adventurous, and full
of heart than a book has any right to be.' TRENTON LEE STEWART 'A
delightful, witty and vivid story' KIRAN MILLWOOD HARGRAVE Arianwyn
fluffs her witch's assessment. Awarded the dull bronze disc of an
apprentice - to the glee of her arch-rival, Gimma - she's sent to
protect the remote, dreary town of Lull. But her new life is far
from boring. Turns out Gimma is the pompous mayor's favourite niece
- and worse, she opens a magical rift in the nearby forest. As
Arianwyn struggles with her spells, it's soon clear there's much
more than her pride at stake ... A bewitching debut set in a world
of domestic magic - a refreshingly small-world fantasy perfect for
readers aged 9 and up. A spellbinding read, tapping into important
themes of overcoming failure and building self-esteem. Filled with
thrills, pesky magical conundrums, outlandish creatures and an
enchanted forest, yet retains its warm soul and earthy charm!

from world mythology this is gorgeously illustrated in
black-and-white throughout by Cory Reid. Aziza is excitedly packing

is stepping through the door and out onto Shimmerton's beach, where
naughty fairies, the Gigglers, are causing havoc by accidentally
awakening an ancient shell-walker who has been asleep for many
years under the sand. Everyone scatters as the shell-walker grows
bigger and bigger. What can be done? Aziza's new mermaid friend
might just know someone who could help.
